On his official twitter handle, Ruto said Raila’s visit to the US was to only stop him (Ruto) from ascending to power in 2022.
Raila flew to the US on Tuesday, before giving a key note at the Centre for Strategic and International (CSIS) headquarters, Washington DC.
In his speech, which was aired live on KTN, Raila said the country was fast moving in the dictatorial line, with DP Ruto set to take over from Kenyatta in 2022.
“Kenya matters, at least it did then. In this crisis though, the US and other pro-democratic friends chose to avert their gaze from the unfolding election lawlessness and continued against all the evidence to support a deeply tainted electoral process,” said Odinga.
However, Ruto feels there was more to Odinga’s statement, and that he was worried about him winning in the next general elections.
“So, Tinga went all the way to the USA to seek support to scuttle the possibility of a son of peasant from being elected prezo in 2022!Balaa!” DP Ruto posted on his twitter handle.
President Kenyatta and Ruto won the Ocotber 26 elections, which the NASA leader boycotted calling for reforms.
